The Piper PA-48 "Enforcer" the U.S. Air Force evaluated the aircraft, beginning in 1983. Testing was conducted in 1984 and the Air Force decided not to order the Enforcer.

Talon Aviation unveils the Bullet Hawk.

Starbridge, Patoxia – Talon Aviation has revealed it's newest fighter, the 'Bullet Hawk', which is designed to be a low cost fighter based upon the Henschel P.75. Which in 1941 was rejected by the Luftwaffe with the excuse that its pilots would never get used to having the propeller at the rear and the tail at the nose.

Test are still being conducted and have been mostly successful except for an early test in which the aircraft became unstable and disintegrated in flight.

The test pilot was able to eject in time.

The Bullet Hawk's design has been refined several times since that incident resulting in the study craft that was unveiled yesterday. However there are still some weaknesses in the design though it is extremely maneuverable at high speeds, the Bullet Hawk does not perform as well at low velocities and has a high stall speed.

Is this plane feasible?

Opinions???
